Window Motor
My damn motor stopped working last night and I need to replace it before this wensday. I haven't ever done one or even really seen what all is involved and wanted some input on how hard it is to swap.
Also is a place like advance or napa going to carry the motor or is it dealer only? I'll check when I get time but i'm sure someone will postbefore I have a chance to get to the store. I'm thinking i'll door the lock actuator while I have my 20 year old panel off.
Thanks

Any auto parts store should have it. You'll have to take the door panel off, but after that its pretty much a remove and replace affair.
Do yourself a favor though, pull the motor, and you'll see it has a little gearbox on the end. Take that cover off and see if the gears are stripped. Alot of times, the gears are stripped and the motor is fine. You can buy the gears at the auto parts store as well. Alot cheaper than a motor and probably more reliable (remaned motors are a bit iffy)

if the motor makes noise but doesnt move then the gears inside need replaced...if you hit the switch and it doesnt make any noise then it needs the motor...keep in mind that when u buy a reman window motor from a parts store it will not come with the gear kit, you will need to remember to buy that as well, i sell the reman window motors with rebuilt gear kits if you would like a price feel free to call me at 727-571-1996
